Bucky’s Basement Podcast
The Basement is a place where 3 friends dive deep into the world of Nicolas Cage on our Casting Cage episodes, where we watch, dissect, and celebrate his legendary performances. Then, get ready for some off-the-cuff creativity on Fast Pitch, where we take random word-generated titles and turn them into original movie ideas on the spot. It’s a mix of movie love, improv, and absurd fun—all from the depths of Bucky’s Basement. Listen now and explore more at buckysbasement.com

The Sack has spoken, and this week it delivered something truly unprecedented: Snow Yogurt and Green.
You read that right. Joining us in the studio is special guest and Nashville comedian Lisle Jones, making it a four-pitch showdown for the ages. Casts, Movie Marriages, Taglines — all built from the ground up with backs against the wall and absolutely no dignity to spare. And somehow, through the beautiful chaos of it all, a ...Welcome to Bucky's Basement! This week, we're suiting up for a **Casting Cage** episode covering the 2010 indie superhero cult hit: *Kick-Ass*.
Critically acclaimed and fan-adored, this one stars Nic Cage, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and a whole lot of people getting hit really hard. The guys break down the subplots, the style, the surprisingly deep character work, and a whole lotta Big Dad...This week on Fast Pitch, The Sack giveth a coveted 3-Word Title: The Posh Climber.
Where can the guys take us with a title like that? Mt. Everest... in style? A String Cheese Incident show... also in style ? Or maybe a documentary (ahem) about a flower? Yeah. We go there. Same title. Three movies. Zero dignity. Always unique. Always fresh. In 15 minutes or less. Only on Bucky's Basement.Sometimes when you stare directly into the sun you can still see the sun when you look away. Like the image is burned into your retina, and your mind. And sometimes when you watch a lot of Nic Cage movies he just becomes burned into your mind, popping out at the most inopportune times. For example, when you're trying to record a podcast episode that has nothing to do with him, but he couldn't take not being in the spotlight...an...
Remember Knowing? The sci-fi, apocalyptic, sorta-religious action flick where Nic Cage deciphers a string of numbers that predict global catastrophes. And the numbers? They don't lie.
We're unpacking alien angels, questionable ciphers, and a story that's ultimately about finding faith — even when that faith is convoluted, chaotic, and kind of pointless. Just like our review process. We're faithful to one thing: watching every...Welcome back to Bucky’s Basement.
This week on Fast Pitch, the Sack giveth… “Watching Dawn, The Heavy Cleaner.” Yeah. Let that one marinate. With only 15 minutes each to build a full movie — complete with Cast, Tagline, and Movie Marriage — what direction will the guys take? Is sci-fi in the cards? What about an origin story? Or something closer to home, ripped from the headlines? Or something so unhinged it legally shoul...This week on Bucky’s Basement, Fast Pitch pulls the title Don’t Rico Asteroids from the Sack—and the Sack, as usual, shows no mercy.
Undeterred, the boys rise to the challenge with three wildly different interpretations: a futuristic sci-fi parable about classism and moral responsibility, an alien invasion orchestrated by a bottom-feeding film producer, and an unexpectedly earnest origin story for the classic arcade game Asteroids....This week, Bucky’s Basement dusts off another Casting Cage episode with 2007’s National Treasure: Book of Secrets, a sequel that proves American history has even more secret compartments than previously disclosed.
Nic Cage returns as Benjamin Gates, this time chasing the mythical City of Gold, Cibola, while reuniting with his whiny daddy (Jon Voight), his ex (Diane Kruger), his trusty sidekick (Justin Bartha), and racing against ...WE BACK!!!!! KINDA!!!!
Bucky, Oldboy, and Juicebox got back in the studio to make sure we remembered how to do this whole podcast thing. We'll be back next week with a new episode of Casting Cage. In the meantime, enjoy us being us.
This week in the basement, we’re rolling out the Fast Pitch welcome mat to our guest straight from the Mile High City — songwriter, creative mind, and manager of the New Orleans style brass band Brothers of Brass Little Mikey Colefax!
Mikey and the guys step up to the mic with some truly original concepts for the movie title Sharon Simpleton: The Truffle Pauper — a title as wild as the pitch's that follow. Expect hallucinating act...
This week, the dudes saddle up with fellow podcasters Wally Analog and Rowls Royce from The Old Guard to tackle the fiery chaos of 2007’s Ghost Rider! With a cast packed full of legends—Nic Cage, Eva Mendes, Sam Elliott, Peter Fonda, and... Wes Bentley(?)—there’s plenty of hellfire to dissect.
From devilish deals to barely death defying bike stunts, the crew breaks down the cast, plot, and gloriously over-the-top visuals of this pr...
This week we're excited to have the guys from "The Old Guard" podcast sit down with us for a Casting Cage episode this week. But before we bring you that, we decided to sit down with Rowls and Wally and get a little background on who they are and how this collaboration came about. Enjoy!
Boy Howdy, do we have a great episode for you this week! Fast Pitch is on deck and we have a special guest in the Basement with us, our dear friend: Shana Watkins!
We drew a dreaded 5 word title: An Education Corals Misfortunate Blossoms. Is Shana up to the challenge? Are the guys? Listen in to find out we're their imaginations take them. You won't be disappointed. Because it's... Always unique. Always fres...Not the bees!!! On this week's Casting Cage episode, the dudes review the infamous 2006 production of The Wicker Man. We know you've seen the memes...
With deplorable ratings from critics and fans alike, we ask "Is this movie really that bad?" Or is there more going on and it's an intricately plotted out film with subtle details and clues? You'll have to listen in for varying takes from our guys. And we faithfully deliver What...We did it, you guys! We made it to the 100th episode of Bucky's Basement! If you're not impressed, well, we certainly are. Some highlights: We discuss our podcasting history (Coolwhip and Sugarcane's RedBox Movie Reviews & Raising Nashville), as well as some of our favorite past episodes of Bucky's Basement.
We also bring a fresh Fast Pitch episode with a twist. The word Sack only contains words from Nic Cage movie titles w...On this week's Casting Cage episode, the guy's review the 2006 Oliver Stone flick: World Trade Center. With stars Nicolas Cage, Michael Pena, Michael Shannon, Maggie Gylennhall, Jon Bernthal, and Maria Bello, it's bound to be an instant classic about one of the most tragic days in U.S. history? Right? Right?....right.
Join the guys at Ground Zero as they dig through the plot, attach new Taglines, and provide some Movie Marriages ...Popular Podcasts
